I stayed here in ealy November 2011 after reading reviews from Tripadvisor and the price seemed good. I was so pleasantly SHOCKED. Upon arrival there was a smile Englis spoken and no end of assistance.
The room was clean, tidy and very nice. Breakfast was superb and at last a decent coffee in Europe not that filtered muck left over from the night before! (We had a high standad set by immigrants and we raised the bar in Australia).
I returned 26th December to catch my flight onwards and again the staff were great. They remembered me, even put money in the parking meter when I forgot so i would not get a ticket.
Yes you can do a lot better and pay a lot more but this Hotel would suit all people, families, coupes and business.
It was 10 minutes walk to the Main Square being the Duomo (Dome) which in itself it a spectacle of beauty.
DINING TIP: Go to "Centrale" (Central Station) then turn back (as you face the Main Portico LEFT and along the sides pass all the homeless following the rail lines for about 150 metres. There are some sex shops so you know you will be on the right side... no problems it just looks bad... then there is a corner with some absolutely FABULOUS cuisine and CHEAP prices. We were steered here by locals from the main fashion street - Montenapoleone. The food was Asian, Greek and Italian so you could satisfy whatever taste and IT WAS GOOD. better than the main square. About 15 Euros for a 2 course BIG meal.
